CHAMBERS, Robert W.

The King in Yellow

First edition, first issue in green cloth and with no inserted frontispiece. A moderately worn, very good copy with light wear at the crown, a little rubbing and soiling, and small tears to some preliminary pages. Ellen Glasgow's copy, Inscribed by her to her sister and closest friend: "Rebe Gordon Glasgow from Ellen Glasgow July 1896." An important book of supernatural horror, and presumably of some influence on Glasgow, who, while better known for her novels set in Virginia, also produced several classic supernatural and ghost stories including "The Shadowy Third" and "Dare's Gift."
